same for me as I don't share photos at 100% crop

I post the above because someone ask to see what is the comparison only

bring my SLR almost everywhere I go, as you will never know there would be a photo opportunity and if don't have a camera around with ya... well, dont want to lose the opportunity

of course there is always the camera phone, but my handphone only has 0.3 megapixel camera phone

not so bulky... I bring kitlens only

my backpack i put my notebook, 500gb external hdd, the camera, umbrella, water bottle.... can can

manual focus?
anyway.... since you are using a300, just use the live view
no need to focus, just move your camera front and back to get the focus right

i'm also tempted to get a vertical grip
actually, shooting fashion show or even model shoot, it would be useful to me.... but I'm getting second thoughts.... cuz nowadays I don't go out that much to shoot them

once your friend had it, he/she will never let go of it

I need some assistance
Actually I can trial and error... but some opinions would be nice for my cuckoo brain

Nowadays when I shoot people, I tend to use flash all the time (HVL-F42AM)
For indoors I use WB 5300 because the flash WB is 5300 - the colours produced are superb
For outdoors in the shade, the same WB 5300 also produce the same colours

However, under the sun with WB 5300, I get a yellow tint, basically the photos look yellow.

Which WB should I try the next time I shoot people with flash under the sun?

no need adaptor
if you see the link I gave you, just as long it says "Sony Mount", means no need any adapter
Tamron is what we called a 3rd party lens
